This can be broken into the following:
{ 0, 0, {1,1,1,1,1,1} }
{ 0, 1, {1,2,2,2,2,1} }
{ 0, 2, {1,2} }
{ 4, 2, {2,1} }
{ 0, 3, {1,2} }
{ 4, 3, {2,1} }
{ 0, 4, {1,2,2,2,2,1} }
{ 0, 5, {1,1,1,1,1,1} }
The first two values indicate where to place the scanline, relative to =
the
origin. The sequence following represents the pixels to draw.

But, how do I do that? It's a little too complicated, I don't know much =
about bits and bytes. Can someone help simplify?

Try searching the archives for 'sprite'. Choose the technique that suits
you best.

Also search for 'transparent' because if you don't need anything fancy,
Caballero Rojo submitted a very small/simple solution that should be easy
enough to follow, even for a beginner...
